Web News: Abit to replace boards with capacitor problems

	The class action alleged Abit sold motherboards with a defective capacitor, a fact that the firm denies, and continues to deny. Abit USA is still mounting a defence against certain claims made. However, as part of the class litigation, Abit has undertaken to replace capacitors on a large number of models for those eligible and who submit a claim form to have their motherboards repaired. The claim form has to be received before the 15th of February 2006, and applies to mobos including the BE6, BE6II, BF6, BX-133, KA7, KA7-100, SE6, VH6, VH6II, VH6T, VP6, KT7-RAID, KT7A, KT7A-RAID, VL6, VT6X4, SA6R, AND BX133-RAID.

well shoot me down with a potato gun...I had (or i think I still "have") a BF6 - Slot1 for P3 support? Never got it to work...no screen regardless of any ammount of hardware changing/bios resetting.

Seems odd why such a covetted mobo maker would go and deny the fact with such a substantial list of motherboard models.

The BP6 and VP6 have the same cap problem, it's EC10 on those. It's a known issue, and I don't know if you guys know but those are OLD motherboards, BE-6 is like a Pentium 2 / 3 slot 1 motherboard. The only one worth it is the VP6 because of it's dual PIII Socket 370 support.
